First, a little background info.
We got this XJ with just under 100,000 miles on it in Feb of '09. Within the first couple of months, it went through a few radiators(under warrenty) and a transfercase(I think it was due to operator error, 4wd in rain, on my moms friends part).
Midas(I know, I know) charged around 1500 to fix it, but the person who broke it got it fixed.

Fast forward 50,000 miles and 2 years later, and a bunch of lacking maintenance. Here she is.
After one of the snow storms
And a recent one
Replaced the hatch struts, It wouldn't even go up at all before
I replaced the broken glass in the back too.
I changed the sludge with over 45k miles on it. Threw some new oil and seafoam in it, and changed it again 2 days later. It came out pretty dark.
Then about 5,000 later, another oil change.
Then I seafoamed it, almost a whole can right down the throttle body.

While you're at it throw on some new plug wires, distributor cap and rotor. Only cost you a few bucks more and then you'll know exactly when it was done. Might want to freshen up the grounds under the hood as well.

I got my XJ from a buddy who was pretty lacking in maintenance as well so I feel your pain.

I have a new cap and rotor to go on. Im waiting to get new plug wires from the dealer(depending on cost).

It has carquest wires on it right now and they feel really flimsy. The boots are hard, and I ripped a boot in half trying to get it off, so there is a wire from my red XJ on there for now.

AAL going in
Budget Center caps and new lugs from summit
New tires, mounted on my old(only a few months) Soft 8s.
All done
I still have to order shocks. The stock ones fit and work, but limit down travel and who knows how old they are.

Ok, a few more updates then I'll fast foreward to where I get it.
Took off the ghetto purple tint
Made a spare tire mount, using the stock location for a 31
I got flat flares too, but I cant find any pics of it on flat ground. But heres some wheeling.
